How many workweeks are there in UK? Netherlands?

Believe it or not, this is the most authoritative source I can find ... (because I'm lazy)

I need to know how many hours per year are standard for a contract employee - but also for part-time workers - so minus national holidays & personal time off, how many weeks per year do most people work in the UK?

And if you know if it's the same or different for the Netherlands, I need that too.

Thanks for doing my job for me.

US law does not require employers to grant any vacation or holidays and about 25% of all employees receive no vacation time or holidaysNo-Vacation Nation. For employees that do receive vacation, 10 working days with 8 national holidays is fairly standard. Members of the US Armed Services earn a total of 30 vacation days a year, not including national holidays.

Wow, it says 60 days in India! That can't be right, can it?

twelve years pass...

This is simply extraordinary. A country which has dedicated itself to allowing foreign companies to pay little or no tax, cheating on international norms, has used its tax authority to pursue thousands of families for benefit fraud which didn't exist.
